We all just sat in the driveway for about a hr and watched it burn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, my dad’s Peterbilt semi had an electrical fire while it was parked and not running. Entire inside of the cab and sleeper was burnt to a crisp. He happened to be home eating lunch on that weekday. Could have killed him if it happened any other time as he spent 5-6 nights a week in that sleeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully she is ok and will live another day in a better car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
